Video game test and treatment for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses interactive video games to help diagnose and potentially treat early-stage Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It is testing whether these games can improve thinking skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses computer and touch-screen tasks to measure thinking changes in people who may be in the early, symptom-free stage of Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to understand how these brain-related changes show up on testing, which could help future detection or tracking.
This study tests whether a program combining thinking and physical exercises can help prevent Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in older adults with mild memory problems. It may benefit people who can walk without help and are not taking sedatives.
This study uses advanced computer models (deep learning) to analyze brain images and help diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately. If you have mild cognitive impairment or early-to-moderate Alzheimer's, you may be able to help improve how doctors identify and track the disease.
This study uses a virtual reality navigation task to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with mild cognitive problems, mild Alzheimer's, and healthy older adults to see if this test can spot the disease earlier.
This trial tests whether playing interactive video games that combine exercise and thinking challenges (called 'exergaming') can help people with dementia. It aims to see if this fun way to move and think can improve memory, daily function, and quality of life.
This study tests whether a virtual reality training program can help people with Alzheimer's disease. If you join, you will use a VR headset to do fun activities or exercises designed to improve thinking and memory.
